Also, you should never turn your petcock OFF after riding. If it doesn't cut off automatically, then its bad. OFF is there so that people can drain the carbs for the winter by riding it out. People with newgens don't have an OFF and must drain their carbs manually when winterizing.

To test, turn off bike and remove both hoses. Make sure petcock is ON or RES. No gas should come out.

Then put a small length of fish tank or other tubing onto the small port and suck on it. Gas should come out of the big port but not the little one. If you get gas from the little one, or no gas comes out, then the petcock is bad.




Ok man I will check that. Could that also make it feel like its not getting gas

Also, you will need to change the oil because it now has gas in it. It you run it like that, you will burn out your bearings and need a new engine.
